President Trump playing tennis? And your point would be…..??
PS That he plays tennis, and he's a bit chubby?? Wow! What a
devastating
revelation! We get that you Lefties are still whining and crying about him whupping Crooked Hillary way back in 2016, but maybe you should get over it. Oh and btw,
we really don't care.
We Trump supporters didn't hallucinate that the economy is roaring, the Stock Market is at an all time high, and unemployment is at a 50 year low. That's real.
And he will be re-elected next year
in a landslide.
MAGA! FAFO!

A bit chubby? If it was Hillary you wouldn't be calling her a bit chubby. How was the economy when Clinton was in office?

I'd call Crooked Hillary the same thing, but it really doesn't matter. It's just a symptom of the Left hating Trump, just like the Right hated Obummer. What was it like under Bush?
Who cares?
What matters is
today
.
And today, the economy is
booming
under Trump. And that is
not
an hallucination!

No, don't watch that, Miley. If you want to talk about schizophrenia get an appointment to see board certified psychiatrist in real life. You know how. Don't watch any YouTube videos about it especially ones from Lilith.

I hope you give it a watch, Miley. It's a good video (regardless of who posts it). It's very simple, she explains things that most people don't understand, and I think you'll find some validation in her words demonstrating why you may do or feel the things you do. The doctor in the video puts things in very simple terms, and I think she also helps to offer up for those so-called "normal" folks to get an idea of what you have to face every day. It's very informative and very neutral, and she validates things you've brought up yourself.
I think by your watching it, it may actually help you find a little peace because she explains why "unaffected" people get frustrated and don't understand. You're smart enough to watch the video and garner what she's saying for yourself.
Make your own choices, Miley. xoxo

You're welcome Miley. I'm glad you want to learn about it. It'll help you feel calmer I think because when you're feeling scattered, you can reflect on this video and think to yourself, 'Oh yeah, that's right,…that doctor said this is all part of it," and you may not feel so alone or so in pain.

— 6 years ago(December 13, 2019 02:44 PM)one of the biggest problems of having a mental illness is that people expect you to behave like you don't have one.
This is EXACTLY why it's unfair of some posters to insist that when Miley loses her temper or attacks people that she is fair game DESPITE her obvious issues.
They even tried to challenge her diagnosis! Because they're all experts at diagnosing mental illness in people they don't know naturally. -

- People think I have this, and that's what I have been treated for. My teachers thought my essays were too hard to read, too. I think I've met a lot of people who really do this, try to talk to confuse you and not make sense, but they are schizophrenic like this on purpose. I was actually diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia.
Negative Symptoms - My dad is onto me and makes me feel uncomfortable and has before when I was diagnosed.
I tend to turn off when no one talks to me and I have nothing special I'm good at, like figure skating … for too too long.
I am also diagnosed with bipolar, as of age 23. I was treated for schizophrenia at 16, though I supposedly didn't have it yet. The pills might have made the biggest changes in my life and overall distrust of me and my supposed dysfunctionality.
People used to try to disturb us by so many of them ignoring opinions of others and stating major celebrities as role models have Autism, which I also have (Aspergers,) or seem like someone of another race in a suggestive way, I was upset because I thought the celebrities "changed" because of how the world approached them.

Yep. That's the thing, Christina. The video helps to explain why people may say certain things to you, or even why you may perceive certain things. I think that it's nice for other people to see the video to better understand. It's validating.

You all keep insisting I have schizophrenia, but even this lady, who is a doctor of some psychiatric kind, says people online can't diagnose you, any better than yourself, and I don't believe my doctors. The one who diagnosed me was Vietnamese. I had a fair Spanish on and now an Indian one from New Orleans or the area. The white ones didn't think I was sick, but who knows? Neither did the Chinese doctor. Regardless of what they say, they said I had a chemical imbalance before giving me a brainscan, which I had one for another reason. They're just diagnosis-happy. It makes me wonder that everyone believes you are chronically ill with a mental disorder automatically seriously if a doctor diagnoses you, when the symptoms were only to do with simply people thinking I talk about too many things at once and my feeling annoyed at how my dad approached me. Thanks a lot, Dad. Those symptoms don't go with things the doctor said, like believing someone is poisoning me or hitting my head against a wall I think because of hearing voices all the time when awake, which I watched a video about for General Psychology online. I don't know why they are the same thing, schizophrenia. It's like the ones who hear voices and believe weird things are nicer than the ones who have an attitude problem, and so they said they are the same amount of negativity. I've been ignoring people, but I am pretty sure I don't have schizophrenia. This video didn't even talk about the idea that schizophrenia might just mean a chemical imbalance in the brain, which I did't get told if I had or not from the brainscan for something else and I forgot to ask.

I definitely would not accept someone online telling me I have schizophrenia or anything else. No one online can diagnose you at all. The only people who can do that are your very own doctors. She also stated that people didn't need to present with all five symptoms, but if someone has just 2 of them for more than several weeks, it's a sign that the person needs to seek psychiatric attention to find out what the problem is.
I am not "diagnosing" you, nor am I "telling you" that you have schizophrenia or anything else. You posted that information yourself online and shared things pretty openly.
As far as who is diagnosing you, I don't think it matters if they're white, Vietnamese, Indian, or Spanish. None of that makes a difference as a good doctor is a good doctor based on their action and treatment. Whatever their race or ethnicity is irrelevant as doctors that treat us come from all over the world.
When you talk about hearing "secret messages" or feeling like you are "being judged racially" and get hyper-focused on such certain issues, seem to me to be symptoms similar to what that doctor in the video was talking about.
Regardless, it's just a video, and just like everything and anything else, you're a grown up woman and can make up your own mind. If you don't feel like you have schizophrenia despite being diagnosed with it, and if you're on those medicines, then just talk to your doctors and they'll help you get off the meds.
Like everything else, everyone's symptoms are unique and their own. Not everyone is going to present the same. Find a doc you trust and like and work with them. Just be careful with your meds and make sure you work with your doc on how to get off of them if that is your goal. It's your body, and you have control. You're an adult and can handle your own life your own way.

Thanks!
My parents want me on the medicine if I live in the same house as them, and now I'm going to college yet again probably I live at home and care for my sick, maybe/probably dying dad. He's getting weak from a disease… If my psychiatrist diagnoses me, they decide what that means to them from there.
Yea, people think talking about racism is schizophrenic and hurts people to the point if they make a mistake about it in public they are publicly humiliated or fired, fired from Hollywood or a job probably. That's an example where a certain action can mean something for different people, that example being talking about race - get fired or diagnosed. Things like this probably happen all the time, in general, people doing inappropriate, punishable things. Me, my mom kept trying to annoy me when I was already annoyed. I stayed in my room posting online and avoided seeing people and leaving the house for awhile, then.
The "secret messages" are just how I think people treat me and try to communicate with me telepathically or without actually verbalizing anything… I usually get distinct messages. Some people do it for a good cause.
Why don't you get into real psychology, like testing lab rats and talking about personality types?
